The 9th Annual Art Perchance, presented by the Pals of the Institute, will be held outdoors in Target Park on August 16, from 5 to 9 p.m. This year marks the third time Art Perchance is collaborating with the MIA’s Third Thursday, providing a excellent mixture of programming from both events. Art Perchance will once again feature donated original operates of art from a increasing and impressive group of local, regional, and national artists, collectors, and galleries, which will be on display in the Target Wing Atrium. Visitors will play carnival games to win tokens that can be used in drawings for these artworks.

In addition to the games and drawings for art, anticipate silent auctions, refreshments for sale, entertainers, live music, henna tattoos, silly glasses and fake mustaches. Funds raised by Art Perchance supports the Friends’ initiative to bring busloads of schoolchildren to the MIA all year.
